Hi - Yeah, it can be a trigger if there is too much of it per serving. Peanut butter is basically pure fat, so I'd treat it like I would olive oil or canola oil. As an ingredient in baking, it the amount per serving comes out to a tablespoon or less, and there's a soluble fiber basis, it should be okay.
I've found it's hard to use peanut butter in recipes and get the flavor without having to add too much of it. I've played around with Asian peanut sauces for noodles and just can't get the fat level low enough without losing all the flavor. Same thing for peanut butter cookies.
I'd guess that your peanut butter bread is probably one of the safest ways to use the ingredient, especially if someone is stable.
